Chapter 64: Chapter 64

Areesha's P.O.V.

After dinner, I got back to my room with Esha. When Esha fell asleep, I said my prayer. After some time Muhib entered the room smilingly.

Seeing that, I also smiled and asked him, "You seem to be quite happy. What's the matter?"

He turned to me for once and then spoke up with the same face, "Wifey, I was thinking of Arhaan and Khushi. I think their love story has already begun though they, themselves are unknown to this fact."

Hearing him, I got near and spoke up, "I also think so. But they themselves need to feel that their relationship is just not of friendship but something beyond that. I am thinking what to do for making them realise."

Muhib spoke up hopefully, "You don't worry. I think that day isn't far rather pretty close."

When I gave him a questioning look, he just uttered, "My instinct says so. Anyways I have talked to Arhaan."

Hearing him, I got pretty confused and asked him, "What did you talk to him?"

Muhib nodded at me and spoke up, "I think it's high time they should realise their feelings." I nodded at him and he spoke up again.

Hearing Muhib, I smiled heartily and being excited I hugged him.

Arhaan's P.O.V.

Having a nightmare, I woke up in the morning. When I found a comforter on me, a little smile crept on my lips as I knew it was Khushi. But remembering the dream, the smile got faded away immediately.

I looked all around to find Khushi but she was nowhere to be seen in the room.

Giving that thought a break, I uttered, "Khushi must be with Api in the kitchen. Where else will she go!"

Then getting freshen up, I forwarded downstairs but as expected she wasn't in the kitchen with Api.

While looking all around, I got near Api and asked her, "Api, where is Khushi?"

To my utter surprise Api uttered, "Isn't she in the room? I thought she is still sleeping."

Hearing her, I got outside the Mansion thinking she must be in the garden. But no.

Api also followed me outside as she spoke up, "What's the matter, Arhaan? Where is Khushi?"

Being all clueless, I uttered, "I don't know Api." only to get Api all worried as she spoke up, "What do you mean by you don't know? She was behaving strangely from last night. Did you trouble her again, Arhaan?"

Api kept saying all these and I started feeling like I was living the dream. In my dream, Khushi was nowhere to be found in the house. Then I found a letter that she left behind for me.

Being all afraid, I forwarded towards my room but didn't bother looking for a letter rather called her but to my bad luck the phone kept ringing which was on the table in front of me.

I sat on the bed and kept thinking, "Did Khushi really leave like this? She left this house and even me..Without bothering to talk to me for once?"

I was getting angry on Khushi for leaving like this but deep in my heart, I was hurt also.

How could she do that with me!

Right then Khushi entered our room getting me all shocked. She was all sweating. But without bothering that, I got near her and spoke up rudely, "Where did you go?"

Hearing my tone, she got all silent only to get me utter loudly, "I am asking you something. Where did you go?"

She answered in lower tone, "Jogging with Muhib Vai."

I spoke up with the same tone as earlier, "Couldn't you say that to me before going? I was looking for you everywhere in the house. I thought you.."

I got stopped while saying and found her giving me a confused look only to get me utter, "Go freshen up first."

Nodding at me, she left and I sat on the bed. Though I felt relieved that the dream remained a dream only but it kept bothering me.

Getting freshen up, Khushi forwarded downstairs and I got thinking, "I have to talk to her. I can't just let her go now."

Today only I realised, Khushi has become someone special to me already.

I have started to have feelings for her without even realising.

I wondered when and with what incident it began.

Maybe I realised it too late to figure out the starting point of it.

The only thing that I know now is that I can't let her go. She is needed right beside me.

Before I didn't believe in relationship of love or something but now as I already have made it this far unknowingly, I want to give it a proper chance.

Giving this a good thought, I got downstairs. Khushi was in the kitchen with Api. Helping her all smilingly.

I didn't know I was staring at her until I heard vai coughing. I turned to Vai and found him standing right beside me putting on a smile.

I just walked forward and sat in the living room. Api spoke up then, "Breakfast is almost ready vai. Just 5 minutes."

I uttered normally, "No problem Api." and taking the newspaper, I kept pretending to read it to avoid vai.

But I forgot it was Muhib Vai. He took the newspaper from my hand and spoke up, "Stop pretending."

Letting out a sigh, I spoke up, "What do you want me to do, vai?"

He spoke up smilingly, "Isn't it obvious?"

I glanced at Khushi for once and then again turned to vai.

He was just smiling at me only to get me utter, "Vai, I will talk to Khushi. Now stop."

Giving me a nod, vai started reading the newspaper whereas I got thinking what exactly should I tell Khushi!

My chain of thought got interrupted as api spoke up, "Breakfast is ready."

Vai got up and forwarded towards the dining table but when I still kept sitting, he turned to me as he spoke up, "Arhaan, let's take breakfast for now first and then you can think what will you tell her."

While shaking my head, I got up and forwarded towards the dining table as vai just kept giving me a teasing smile.

At breakfast table when I was almost done and was about to ask Khushi, api got uttering, "Khushi, don't you have classes today?"

When Khushi nodded, Api looked at me for once and then again spoke up, "Okay then. If you are done with your breakfast, go and get ready."

Nodding at Api, Khushi left for our room after completing her breakfast. I also forwarded towards our room to get ready for office.

On our way to her college, we both kept silent. At some point I felt Khushi staring at me but when I looked at her, she turned away. Thinking of something, I didn't ask her anything.

We reached her college like this but when she was about to get down, I spoke up, "Khushi?"

She got stopped and turned to me. Then I spoke up again, "Do you want to say something to me?"

She shook her head only to get me utter, "Okay but I have something to say to you. Not now though but tonight, okay?"

She kept staring at me for some moments and then nodded at me.

I got uttering again, "Okay, then you go ahead. Attend your classes. And by the way when will you be done?"

She got thinking for some moments and then spoke up, "I will be done early but I will visit the orphanage after that. You don't bother. I will."

Getting annoyed at her behaviour, I spoke up in between, "I told you before. Don't say something like this. You are not a bother to me rather I"

I got stopped at this point whereas my mind completed my unsaid words, "Rather you like spending time with her."

Leaving this line, I spoke up, "Text me when you are done. I need to talk to Sadiya Aunty also."

Khushi nodded with a little bit of smile and got down.

I kept staring at her until she entered the entrance of the college and then I forwarded towards my office.

I was late today for my office. Generally I hate to be late for anything but this time I wasn't hating it.

My mind uttered then, "Because it's for Khushi." only to get a smile on my lips as nodding at that I also uttered, "May be."

Entering the office, I got in my cabin and my PA entered immediately. He reminded me the schedule of mine for the day.

Hearing him, I got thinking as today I am supposed to have a pretty busy day. Then how will I pick up Khushi!

Talking to Aunty isn't the problem. I can do that on phone but I can't let Khushi go there alone.

My mind uttered then, "She can go with Rifan. You don't have to worry as Rifan has a girlfriend also."

I uttered sternly, "So what! Khushi won't go with him."

I realised my PA was still in the cabin as he uttered, "Sorry Sir. I didn't get you."

Looking at him, I uttered normally, "It's not for you to get. Anyways you can leave now."

Nodding at me, he turned to leave but got stopped at the door and turned to me and spoke up, "Sir, Mr. Malik is waiting for you for a while and asking to meet you."

I asked him sternly, "Given my today's schedule, am I supposed to have any time to meet him?"

He shook his head and I again spoke up, "And it's nothing urgent to me. Let him wait. He will leave at some point. You do your work."

"Okay, Sir." uttering this, he left my cabin.

Completing my work before lunch, I kept waiting for Khushi's text. When she finally texted, I uttered, "Is this called early!" nonetheless, a smile crept on my lips.

I left the office building and hopping in my car, I forwarded towards her college. When I reached her college, she was nowhere to be seen. After few minutes she got out of the college.

To my utter irritation, some guy was talking to her. Rifan wasn't there this time which irritated me more.

Khushi wasn't replying much but she was replying. Being unable to handle that, I immediately got down from the car and forwarded towards them.

When Khushi spotted me, she also started taking faster steps towards me.

Getting near, before I could say something, she got hold of my arm and spoke up, "He is Arhaan, my husband." only to get me confused.

When that guy uttered in confusion, "You are married?", I uttered glaring at him, "Yes. Married to me."

The guy left immediately and as soon as he left, Khushi let go of my arm. But without bothering that, I asked her, "Where is Rifan?"

Khushi uttered normally, "He didn't come to college today."

Hearing her, I nodded and spoke up, "Okay. Let's go now." and forwarded towards my car.

Arriving at the orphanage, I stopped the car and we got down.

We forwarded towards the entrance but Khushi got stopped midway. When I found her looking at a direction, I followed her gaze.

It didn't take much of time for me to understand who was she looking at.

But before I could say something, she uttered, "You go ahead. I will be right back." and left from there...
